Sasha The Wallflower The Wallflower Series Book 1 edition by RJ Fletcher Literature Fiction eBooks
From what I can tell, this is a debut story by Fletcher. I’m not 100% sure because I didn’t dig too deep. And somehow I missed the part that this is a part 1 story so if you expect an HEA or even HFN for your time and dollars spent, you’re wasting both.Sasha Harmon is in her early/mid 20s and works at a diner while attending graduate school. She’s going for a degree in International Relations, not sure what she’ll do with that when she graduates. She lives with Teagan who is one of her three good/best friends. The other two are Jaelynn and Faye. As the plot develops, by chapter 2, it turns out that both Jaelynn and Faye have their own passive aggressive hatred/dislike of Sasha. Interestingly enough Sasha deemed them good friends and was part of their inner circle. But I digress.
While the four of the ladies are out clubbing one night, they meet Dmitri Vikhrov. Dmitri is immediately smitten by and starts chatting up Teagan. These two do end up going out for a time but according to Dmitri Teagan’s a bit of a mental lightweight so Dmitri dumps her and decides to go for Sasha. I know, I know – I really should have stopped right there.
Sasha’s innocent, virginal, sweet, and is all things good. And from reading the author’s blurb, she’s the one in her group that’s the least attractive. Many group friendships have this dynamic so I was looking forward to how the author would not only present this story but solve for Sasha’s looks and sugary sweetness.
Sasha was abandoned as a child and in her adulthood she can’t seem to help but cling to friendships – especially Faye and Jaelynn – that are not reciprocated. These things should have made me like this heroine. She’s smart and looks like the girl next door. I expected to have something in common with this heroine. I expected to read about her and can’t help but empathize and want to see her and the man she’s chosen, Dmitri, to be together.
I should have like this story much more than I did. I tell you why I didn’t. I found myself taking notes to keep track of what’s going on. It’s not like this story took me a long time to read. A few hours spread over two days and I was done. But what took so long was - I kept getting lost. The abrupt change of a character’s story was jarring to say the least. One minute I’m reading about Sasha and her diner friend, Dina, having a conversation about Dina’s date and what I thought would be Dina’s relaying the story; instead the author’s decided to put me in Dina’s head and give me what she and her date did. Why? This story should be from Sasha and Dmitri’s points of view. Why am I reading about other characters points of view? I don’t care. They can have their own story but not right now. This happened multiple times with multiple characters and each time I was frustrated.
The dialogue was inconsistent and should have been better. The contractions are missing for people who speak English as their first language. I know they’re living in Boston but come on they speak with contractions there. In all my readings this is my first time to read the word ‘cuz’ in a sentence. I’m used to ‘cause as it’s slang for because but what the heck is ‘cuz’? Then there’s the random formality thrown into any given description. ‘Upon’ seems to be a favorite word that was overused.
But I’ll tell you what really got my goat in this story. Dmitri’s absolute dislike of Sasha and Sasha’s desperate need/want of Dmitri. He didn’t like her and told her this. He didn’t find her attractive and told her this. He decided to indulge her with his company after she kissed him at some random party, by the way he was still dating her friend and roommate, Teagan, at the time. There’s nothing that this author showed me that made me believe that Sasha should like or even fall in love with Dmitri.
These two went out for a short few days/weeks and Sasha was already falling in love and seeing a future with this dude. They’d, rather Dmitri had not even publically acknowledged their romantic status. And just in case you wondered, Sasha’s skin color reference was upfront and present. Turns out that Dmitri’s family is a bunch of racists, not sure why they just couldn’t just not like her because they didn’t know her. And it also turns out that her good friends Faye and Jaelynn was secretly hating on Sasha because she’s black, not sure how that never manifested itself before considering how long their friendship was for.
Happy reading folks!

Sasha The Wallflower The Wallflower Series Book 1 edition by RJ Fletcher Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Sasha story remind me of a door mat. She let peoples walk over her and call her ugly name. That boyfriend treat her like she was dirt on his shoes until he wanted sex. Although
her mother abandoned her at eight year old she should had more confidence in her as grown older
It started off on a really good beat. It was engaging and I did like the ugly ducking theme.
But in the grand scheme of things it went downhill fast and not in a good way. I was particularly turned off because Sasha came off like a perturbed child and dimintri came off as an over zealous plot character that had nothing going for himself.
It's an insult to the readers when these authors split books in two when it could of been one, especially when part one is so meh, bland.
I didn't particularly enjoy the storyline once in every sentence we are inclined to the China doll Sasha is. I get she's weak, I understand that she's fragile but gosh golly give us something to root for her.
Her and dimintri was mismatched from the get go and I wasn't convinced nor did I see or felt this chemistry.
I did try to give this author the benefit of the doubt but she failed all cylinders. Im definitely not interested in part 2 the climax wasn't there to continue.
orphaned at a young age, Sasha grew up in foster homes and developed insecurities from her experiences. She ultimately falls in love, but her love is not returned as she thought. She tries to fix him and his family and ends up on the losing end. Interesting read.
Good story. Love he the characters find each other and I can't wait to read the next story in the series.
I finished this book a couple of days ago and I finally had to say something about it. I loved it! Not necessarily all the characters, but the story itself. I started this book in the morning before my work shift and was side tracked wondering what was going to happen next. After rushing home to finish, I was annoyed to discover a slight wait for the second book but it's all good. I love that Sasha grew stronger from her experience and used it for somewhat telling Dmitri off. I just hope she really makes him work for it in the next book.
I can understand how Sasha felt, but damn did you have to make her as weak and needy as she was? The night she first met Nickolai and Dmitri treated her as he did, she should have haul a$$ then. But no, she had to stay and be humiliated in front of people. I should feel sorry for her. NOT!! Sasha let everyone run over her. She had the opportunity to tell Faye off and she just slunked (I know, not a good word) away. I am glad she didn't jump into bed with him, she was still weak. Even telling Dmitri off, she still came off as weak and whinny.
I am going to read the second book, but I am hoping she will be a little stronger. Reading the exert, I don't think so. UGH!!
Have to say I was ticked off throughout the majority of this book. I did not like the male lead at all or any of his family. As to Sasha's so called friends can only remember karma is real (been there, done that). I was so hoping that a knight in shining armor would appear for Sasha and that butt head was just a temporary diversion. Glad she gather her strength and recognized her self-worth to tell money bags to pound sand. Since there is a second installment I hope she gives him a terrible time. As for Dina and Slade I can't imagine how bumpy the rode will be given they are dealing with an Asian arranged.
